A task force formed by the University of Alabama Faculty Senate plans to meet Tuesday to listen to public comments on campus diversity and other issues.Students, faculty, staff and local residents will have an opportunity to share their thoughts on campus diversity, Greek integration, student government elections, Greek politics and the fall 2013 city of Tuscaloosa school board election during an open meeting of the Faculty Senate Task Force for Excellence in Equity, Inclusion and Citizenship.The task force will meet from 4-6 p.m. in Room 140 of the Moody Music Building, said Faculty Senate President Steve Miller.The senate formed the ad hoc task force of students, faculty and administrators last fall to make recommendations on ways to increase diversity on campus and make changes to the governance of student organizations in the wake of allegations of discrimination during the 2013 fall sorority rush and earlier allegations that Greek-letter organizations offered free drinks and other inducements to turn out members to vote for a candidate in a Tuscaloosa City Board of Education election.
